Running During the Week

I don't have any solid race plans other than focus on a 5k.

Instead, I'll write about how I got over my addled brain and figured out my new workout schedule. I really tried to figure out my new workout schedule this past Thursday, but I was so tired after being back from break. Since I work at a Texas public university, I get about 2 weeks off between Christmas and New Year's, and it's always interesting when I get back. My brain hasn't been on work at all, and then it has to. I couldn't figure out how I was doing to get 3 runs in each week, strength training, yoga and rest days.

Finally I figured it out. I've been taking 2 full rest days, but I've decided to make one of those yoga. It's still something, but it's not impactful and still rather restful, but it won't be a full rest day. Friday will absolutely be my rest day. I've tried in the past to workout on Fridays but I just mentally can't swing it. I'm ready for the weekend and I am tired.

The first guide I bought to help with HIIT

Running will be Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, strength training will be Sundays and Wednesdays, and yoga will be Mondays. I feel that's a good schedule, and even though I need to figure out what the run days during the week will entail, it's a good start.

Sounds like a great schedule! I really really need to add yoga back into my workout calendar. I feel so much better when I do it; I have no idea why I resist just making it happen. Thanks for linking up with us today!

Sounds like a really great schedule!I am quite a bit like you, I enjoy and do better with a 6 day workout schedule, but also like your planning I like one of those 6 days to be a tad lighter or different than the other days.Good luck with Yoga, since your coming off an injury take it slow and who knows it might be a great thing to help aid in your recovery:)
